In a Montessori toddler program, children are encouraged to engage in activities that promote cognitive, physical, social, and emotional development at their own pace.
Fostering Curiosity
The classroom is usually filled with developmentally appropriate materials and activities that are specifically designed to meet the needs and interest of toddlers, such as practical life activities, sensorial exploration, art, music, and movement. The role of the teacher in a Montessori toddler program is to observe, guide and support the children’s natural curiosity and desire to learn, helping them develop important skills such as concentration, coordination, and social interaction.
